Preparation of sherbet.

The beverage in Persia is sherbet,
which is plentifully supplied, and of
which there are many varieties-frOm the
bowl of water with a squeeze of lemon to
the clear concentrated juice of any sort of
fruit to which water is added to dilute it.
Preparing sherbet, which is done with the
greatest care, is a very important point
in so thirsty a country as Persia, and one
upon which much time is devoted. 1t
may be either expressed from the juice of
fruit freshly gathered or from the pre-
served extract of pomegranates, cherries
or lemons, mixed with sugar, and sub
mitted to certain degree of heat to pre-
serve it for winter consumption.
Another sherbet is much drank, which
l must not omit to mention, called guam
gebben, made from the honey of the
tamarisk tree. This honey is not the
work of the bee, but the produce of a
small insect or worm living in vast num-
bers under the leaves of the shrub. Dur
ing the months of August and September
the insect is collected and the honey is
preserved. When used for sherbet it is
mixed with vinegar, and although not so
delicious as that made from fruit, it makes
an excellent temperance beverage. Only
among the rich and fashionable are
glasses used; in all other classes sherbet
is served in china bowls, and drank from
deep wooden spoons carved in pearwood.

Work of an Amanuensis.

Pushed IS the writer always is to the
highest rt.te of speed which he commands,
he must bend every energy to the task.
Brain and muscle must be strained to the
utmost to accomplish their work, and, the
notes completed, he must set to work with
assiduity to transcribe them for use,
task requiring, as he knows, four times
the period occupied by the dictation, but
which fact many otherwise intelligent
masters are frequently unable to cOmpre
bend. The strangest experience of short
hand writers is the inability of the en-
ployer to understand the difference be-
tween a spoken and written language as
to the proportion of time required to pro-
duce them respectively, and the annoy
ance which is the outgrowth of this ignOr
ance is one of the peculiar hardships of
the shorthand writer.
1t is as though 81 messenger should be
required to emulate q racehOrse in celer
ity of motion. He therefore bends all his
energies to hasten his transcript, and his
days work leaves him fatigued beyond
any of his fellow clerks. For this reason
the work is not adapted to women. The
strain is too great, and although in some
instances a good constitution may enable
the worker to endure for years, injury is
sustained which is generally irreparable.

Tree Planting and the Billiards.

l have been much interested in watch
ing the effect of tree planting upon the
billiards.. The blizzard drives along the
surface of the ground, and it has for ages
upon ages found no tree to halt or veer it
The settlers on the plains planted trees,
however, and these trees now stand as OBJ
stacles TO the full sweep of the ice laden
wind A few days ago, as a blizzard
swept over the country, passed through
a loosely planted grove of trees, cotton
woods, silver naples, green ashes, ETC.,
and noted with pleasure that among the
trees the violence of the wind was greatly
reduced, and the flakes of snow dropped
lazily to the ground, where they rested as
contentedly as if they had fallen upon the
tree covered hills of New England.
AS soon as l passed out of the grove [
had to face again the furious flakes, driv
ing horizontally in their mad career over
the earth. AS often as l passed through
little grove of trees / found that left the
blizzard; but as soon as l emerged from
the sheltering trees the blast struck me
again in all its fury. This bit of expert
ence is duplicated thousands of times
every day upon the plains. The tree
planter has routed the blizzard wherever
he has set his little army of trees.-Pro-
fessor Charles E. Bessey in American Ag-
riculturiSt

Evolution of Writing Paper.

Paper has changed in form considerably
during this century Fifty years ago
paper in shape like our foolscap was gen
orally used for correspondence. 1t was
folded according to the skill of the writer
and sealed with sealing wax. Then came
the letter size; then commercial note. In
America sealing wax has gone out of date.
Not so in Europe. Nothing ever goes out
of date in Europe, if the efforts of artisans
or others interested in its sale can accom-
plish that result. So called seals are seen
in rings and attached to the watch chains
of American gentlemen, but they simply
suggest disused function, like the rudi-
mentary fins of some kinds of fish. In
Europe wax with seals in all sorts of ill.,
genious forms, intended for use, are for
sale everywhere in such numbers that it
is evident their manufacture gives employ
ment to many thousand persons.-San
Francisco Chronicle.

The "EndoIithtc PROCESS. ,,

In The American Art, there is an in
teresting account of the practice of new
art in this country, but like most of the
arts, it is nothing more than the revival
Of an art profuseIy practiced by the
Greeks, as the remains of their temples
testify. This art consists in the ability to
apply colors of certain manufacture to
stone, and is called the "endolithic pro-
cess. To apply color successfully to
stone it must be made to sink below the
surface without spreading. The means of
accomplishing this has been found and, as
a result, interiors of marble can be tinted
in myriads of colors if desired. A general
application of the art to the funereal mar
